Putting files on a remote server

Putting files copies them from the local site to the remote site without changing the file's checked in or checked out status. If you want to put a file on a remote server and check it in, use the Check In command. See Checking out and checking in files on a remote server.

Dreamweaver records all file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are transferring a file, the Site FTP log can help you debug the problem. To display the log, from the Site window choose Window > FTP log.

Note: Do not use high high ASCII characters in the filenames of files you intend to put on a remote server. Many servers will convert these characters on upload and cause any links to the files to break.

To put files:

1 Do one of the following:
Choose File > Open Sites and select the desired site.
Choose the desired site from the Remote Sites list at the top of the Site window.
2 Select the desired files from the pane on the right.

If only one pane appears in the Site window, click the toggle switch at the bottom of the window to display two panes.

3 Do one of the following:
Drag the selected files to the pane on the left.
Click Put.
Choose File > Put (Windows) or File > Site Window > Put (Macintosh).
4 Click OK to upload any dependent files.

Note: Click Stop Current Task (the red X in the lower right corner) or press Esc (Windows) or Control-. (period) (Macintosh) to abort the file transfer.
